WARING'S “ FEMININE MIND.” Comptroller Fitch says that Street Commissioner Waring has “a feminine mind," and explains the phrase by add- ing that “nothing can deter him from having the last word.” Evidently what the Comptroller meant to say was that the Commissioner had a feminine tongue, for feminine mind was a myth until the new woman came along and developed it to an extent that has made it at least perceptible, The new woman attends to business strictly her own and does not waste words ot time on anybody else's busl- ness. Judging from the swiftness with which Commissioner Waring takes his pen in hand ana the facility with which he permits hin interest in everything and everybody to do the torrent act off {ts nobby nib, we should aay that he didn’t have this brand of mind. He has & mind of his own, as the Comptroller and everybody else know! by this time, but it is not @ feminine mind, by a combful, If Mr, Fitch had said that Waring possessed a feminine tongue, meaning it figuratively, of course, we might have agreed with him, That the New York police force ts handicapped by @ lack of modern equip- ment is due to maladministration now past. The new administration might profitably devote itself to building up the equipment, PAY UP BEFORE VACATION. A correspondent of ‘The World” called attention, the other day, to an evil which should easily and promptly be remedied by those responsible for it, “We hear dally,” says this corre- spondent, “in connection with St, Bar- tholomew's loan work, of wealthy peo- ple going away for thelr Summer vaca- loas and leaving bills unpaid which they have contracted with mechanics and tradespeople, * © * The small tradesman without capital is harassed almost to death in many cases by this neglect on the part of customers,” Undoubtedly tt 1s pure thoughtlessness on the part of the rich customers which leads to this trouble. They know that they can pay, and will pay in their own good time, From their point of view that seems to be enough. ‘They do not take into account the small tradeaman's constantly recurring Mabilities, which he Is sometimes driven to meet with borrowed money, paying interest there- on, while his own resources take the form of unsettled claims It seems as if t ought to be sufficient merely to call the attention of the vacation-takers to thelr sina of omission in this regang They do not desire to be unjust, Let them pay up before they go away. Ollie Teall ts getting up a Trilby beau- ty competition, in which young ladies’ hanue and feet will be pitted. Ollie doesn't say that he will be in it himseif, but he's considerable of a byute, and he will probably hold the best hand in the competition anyhow, LON'T KNOW THEY'RE DEAD. The old Police Justices are making « reat bluster about what they will do and what they won't do, There ts just one thing they may make up their minds they won't do, and that 4s, in- terfere with the ordinary and orderly dispensing of justice in the police courts, They will be allowed to ‘re- solve" all they wish, but they will find that their sole beneflt will be the same as the man belonging to the moneyless soclety expected, after he passed away, a& solemn and regretful resolution by the brethren that he was dead, Messrs. Divver, Grady, Koch and the others will be allowed also to take their places beside the Cromwellian Board of Aldermen, to the humorous delight of the next generation, They will be let make annual demands for salaries and they will appear and disappear yearly with the sea serpent and the report that the peach crop Is ruined with the yel- lows. They may hand down their wrongs to their children and form a kind of Rightful Police Justices’ Le- gion or Bociety of Police Justices Cin- elnnati, They may do anything they please, but they must not attempt to set up a new system of police courts. If they try that the police cells will welcome a new set of inmates, Really, these men ought not to make such a fuss about dying, Divver, Grady and Koch should reallze that the “pull” has passed away, and they must pass with it, Let them compose thelr limbs and recall the words of the poet about drawing the drapery of thelr couch about them and lying down to pleasant dreains, Score one for the wine that is red. If there hadn't been a big tank of claret at the point where San Francisco's water supply gave out, Thursday night, nobody can tell how much further the fire at the Golden might have gone, A two-inch hose was attached to the tank, and an acre of lumber and dry roofs, right in the path of the flames, was drenched with wine and saved. What answer have the enemies of wine for this? Gure In the feat of Mrs. Henry Clews in doing the ten-mile course of O Drive on her bicycle in one hour, New- port finds the most wholesome and inspiriting topic for discussion that has invaded its soctety circles for years, The wheel bids fair to prove a wonder- fully good missionary to the "400" and contingent circles, It goes around much more healthfully than petty gossip and rank scandal, A Bad Tom Smith, a man of many mur-| ders, was hanged in Kentucky, and the only thing that marred the occasion was the preventon by the county authorities of the distribution of 100 one-galion jugs of whiskey that had been sent to the scene.

Am Enjcyable Story Indeed Is “A Deal with the Devil.” ‘When you go away to the country this year, just tuck a copy of Eden Phillpotte’s latest book, “A Deal with the Devil,” into your valise, and you'll live to thank me for the advice, unless you happen to be some sombre old fogy, who would sooner sit on a straight-backed chair and read Max Nordau's “Degenera- tion," until apoplexy ensues. For those who want to laugh and frivol, and who can fatten on the delectable cream of clever nonsense, I think that a dose of Eden Phillpotts will be most beneficial. There 1s not @ soupcon of sexuality in this book, not @ trace of fashionable problem matter, no new woman, no lady with @ past. There's no heroine with velvet skin and limpld orbs, no irritating hero to tantalize you with his dreary perfection, and no mystery-pict to worry you towards the last chapter, “A Deal with the Devil,” ts fascinat- ingly impossible, and tdyillically ridicu- lous, and it's such a rest to get away from the possibilities, and their equally tiresome associates, the probabilitics! Of course, you can have too much of a good thing, and an exclusive diet of such Stories will be nauseating, but one don't often find such a breezy fantasy as this book, and that is why it ts welcome. Besides, at this time of year “The Woman Who Did” and “A Pastoral Played Out," are out of season. Novels have their seasons just lke asparagus and green peas, and nobody has as yet been able to “put up” novels in cana, s folks have learned to do with these vegetables, Zola and Grant Allen on ice for summer use, would, however, be rather pleasing, I should think, Mr. Phillpotts has taken a naughty front name oemen to account at dead of night| Detective-Sergeant Heldelberg, whose Was fined $5 in police court yenterday. |'* Charles, will have been on ht saree tee This is not to be regarded, however, as 1896 and is not after the prevalent re- s. om balf pay.

For wo love to believe—we must love to believe— that gentlemen who are naughty don't {ve to be one hundred, but are pun- ished with an early decease. However, I'm not going to quarrel with Eden on that score. Grandpapa signs a contract with his Mephistophellan Majesty, by which he gets ten extra years of life, each of those ext years to extend over @ decade of “ordinary mundane years," so that when he {s nearly a hun- dred and one he will look and feel, like ninety, and when he's one hundred and five he will be only fifty, while one hundred and nine will find him at the puerile age of ten. He has a graddaughter, who is al- ready at the sere and yellow leaf period, and she ts shocked at this con tract, but sure enough, the charm works, and yrandpnpa’s hair begins to come back in little silvery tufts over his cars; he loses something of his oid stoop, and takes to using one walking etick instead of a couple, “I'm going to en- Joy myself," says the old man. “I shall Keep the bulk of my coin until three years hence. Then I shall be fifty. From that time until the next three years, until I'm twenty, I shall paint the town red. Then from twenty down- wards, when I shall begin to shrink very rapidiy, you may look after me again, if you are still alive.” Grand- papa rejuvenates in @ veritable rapid- transit style, and gets himself into all sorts of entanglements with falr wo- men, Hin granddaughter is obliged to pass herself off aw his sister; then when he gets atill younger she becomes his mother, and he forces her to wear a wedding ring. Finally, when grandpapa reaches the pinafore and peg-top age, this sorely tried spinster has to an. nounce to the world that she ts hie grandmother, She is obiiged to attend to @ grandparent who is teething. "We were at Bideford when I put him into short frocks, and kept flannel next his skin, and looked around for a second- hand peramulator,” she relates, “He was always ailing at this stage, and frightfully fretful, owing to a complica- tion of disorders. He had whooping- cough and a elight touch of congestion of the lungs, and measles and a sore throat. His teeth worried him terribly, too.

In serving dip form into hot water, quickly wipe it dry; turn the plomblere into a round dish and gar- nish with fancy cal Wall Curtal: A pretty fashion has been introduced lately of a wall curtain hanging at the back of a divan or an upright piano. These curtains, of course, must be made to afford an agreeable contrast to the walls on which they hang. The Deco- rator and Furnisher describes them as about @ yard and a quarter deep and a Ittle more than two yards wide. On an olive-green wall @ curtain of bright yel- iow pongee is very pretty. A pale blue curtain looks well on a wall of Pom- peilan red. A little blue silk curtain trimmed with allver fringe and sus-}| pended by silver rings from a slender | silver rod is most effective behind a rosewood plano and where there is a pink effect on the walls. Some of these curtains are made of Japanese stuffs and some of plush. Hints to Housewitve: Colored and white clothes must never go into the same tub, and white ones should be hung in the sun and colored ones in the shade, Bilver is most quickly cleaned by washing in hot water and ammonia, drying immediately and polishing with a chamois skin, and when much chased an old toothbrush dipped in the ammonia water and then into whiting will rub out the tarni: It must then be washed and polished like the plainer leces, Pithe Summer bride will find that know- ledge of this sort will be of more use to her than most of her wedding presents, e for Imvall Clam frappe is a new dainty included in an invalid’s menu of the Boston Cooking School.
